How to remove burned condensed milk and chocolate from bottom of saucepan?

Question

I was making fudge with condensed milk and chocolate. The mix was too hot and scorched the bottom of the saucepan. How to remove?? :-)

Answer 1

May try soaking and then use a copper scrub pad. You have to watch these things close or use a Double Boiler. ;-)

Answer 2

This trick works for me EVERY TIME! Put some water into the saucepan (about 1/2 full) and put it on medium high heat along with a drop or two of dish soap. Add ONE dryer sheet (like a Bounce Dryer Sheet) to the saucepan. (REALLY!) Watch the saucepan so that it does not boil over. After bringing it to a boil, remove from the heat and the burned on milk and chocolate should be sufficiently softenend and you should be able to wash the saucepan. Sometimes I have detected a burned smell still in the saucepan and then after washing, I have added a small amount of water and some baking soda and then let the pan sit for a bit. The baking soda SHOULD remove the burned smell.
Good luck!

Answer 3

YIKES! Never make fudge with sweetened condensed milk! Evaporated milk, every time.
Just soak the pan and next time make sure you do not leave the pan while it is boiling, I adjust my heat up and down and slowly continually stir, Best fudge every time.

Answer 4

Rinse thoroughly with scalding hot water. Squirt a generous amount of dishwashing liquid in pan. Add a tsp on vinegar and a tsp of baking soda, then more hot water. Sit overnight.

cover the bottom of the pan with water, add dishwasher detergent. Allow to soak overnight
